week 2 Kasia's adventcalendar

I really enjoyed Kasia's adventcalendar in December,

so much that I even was a little sad it was Christmas and it was over 😪

day 8 was poetry, 

we needed to cut out random words and create a pleasing text,

translated I have:

I would like to drink the sun all day

yes, be drunk

I am nothing without the sun 💥

day 9's prompt was free writing,

I started with scribble writing my feelings in the background

and the page evolved into this: 

day 10: simplicity

altough the page turned out how I wanted it to

it wasn't simple 😁,

it needed a few layers to come to this 

prompt 11 was a quote by Emily Dickinson 

which I loved so much I just included it as is:

If I can stop one heart from breaking

I shall not live in vain

If I can ease one life

the aching or cool one pain

or help one fainting robin

unto his nest again

I shall not live in vain.

day 12 was senses,

I included all 5:

the stamped eye for sight

there are musicnotes somewhere in the background for hearing

I painted with my fingers = touch

the cupcake represents taste

and the flowers scent

day 13 = collage

this was literally a 5 minute page

some spraying and some glueing and done

+

day 14 = mindless doodling

ok, I doodled, but it was not mindless,

I can't seem to stop my mind of thinking about a zillion things meanwhile,

hopefully I can practice this this year with me focusing more

this gelli printed page in my journal was a great jumping point for this prompt,

as this is a folded A4, I have 3 more of such pages I can use that way,

here is already one of them

week 1 of Kasias adventcalendar

prompt # 3 is things I know

I envisioned this page in my head upfront,

needless to say that it turned out completely different,

but a good different

prompt #4 = collage

we needed to grab a random magazine and tear out 10 images from the first 10 pages

I used less as I am working on a small size

I had so much fun with this prompt I made 2 more collages

using different types of magazine.

Below I used Happiness magazine,

a glossy monthly magazine

and an old National Geographic magazine:

prompt #5 = going for a walk and getting inspired by it

When I went for an afternoon stroll along the water

I was immersed in tranquility

prompt #6 = a quote by Mary Oliver:

instructions for life:

Pay attention

Be astonished

Tell about it

prompt #7 = food

okay, a gin tonic is not exactly food nor a winter recipe,

but I felt like creating this page

and I created also this one about my favorite winter drink:

hot coco

Happy 5th bloganniversary (123-126/365somethings2018)

Gosh, it has been ages since I posted here,

these were finished months ago but just haven't come round to posting them,

but today is the day and today is a very special day: 

the 5th anniversary of my blog!!!

113-119/365somethings2018

In October 2016 I won a contest on Marit's blog, Marit's paper world

and these were my goodies.

I had them neatly stored away

but now it was time to give them some good use.

I used them to create some more collages for my 365somethings.

After making all these collages I got a bit sidetracked with reorganizing my collage supplies 

(a post on this will follow)

I will try to catch up some more this week.

But with a third completed already I am on the right track.

voor mama...

mama
mom
maman
mami

we all have one,
love her,
cherish her
and celebrate her on Mother's day

For this special person in my life 

I made this special card.

106-112/365somethings2018

This week I surrended myself to the wonderous world of collage.

Browsing through my collection of scraps, patterned paper, collage images,...

picking items that speak to me

arranging them in a pleasing way

glueing them down

and adding some color here and there

can you tell that I am totally falling in love with collaging!!!

IT IS SO MUCH FUN!!!

AND I found out that it is so easy to pick a limited amount of supplies 

(just a folder with some paper and a glue stick is already enough)

and sit yourself outside, in front of the tv,...

and create some collages.

Make sure you stay tuned for more of mine collages.

71-77/365somethings2018

2 days overdue, 

but here are the next 7 icads in the series.

they are all done with collage and watercolours.

While working on them the theme suddenly emerged, 

fly

birds and butterflies fly

and so do cherubs.

15-21/365somethings2018

Hello,

Sunday, time to share my 7 new additions to my 365somethings2018 collection.
Inspiration for these 7 cards came from iHanna, I fell head over heals in love with her collages, 
so much that I wanted needed to try that.

These awesome collage sheets from Eliza were part of the early bird bonus content when purchasing the Wanderlust 2018 class.

I used them to create these 7 collages:
